I assume you mean to right click on the video image? Firefox
3.6.10 does not provide that option or anything that sounds
close ...

Neither totem nor mplayer will run the mjpeg video for whatever
reason but both Firefox and VLC do, VLC being best, so I would
simply use it instead of totem if I could make your scheme work.

I already have XFCE icons that bring up each camera with any
size image via VLC [or I can tell it to use Firefox, a minor
change in the command line] I elect to use but that still hogs
the entire 23" screen. What I want to create is a small window
that is "always on top" that I can switch on when desired so I
can see when someone I am expecting comes in the driveway. The
alternative is to leave a second computer displaying the image
and adding to the heat load in my room!
